Wonderful Service

Plan to Return !

I write this letter in hopes of dispelling the myth of substandard medical care in foreign countries. I would encourage anyone to consider a “Dental Vacation” to Guatemala. The cost savings in dental work will pay for a vacation of a lifetime. I had extensive dental work done and now enjoy being pain-free and have a healthy mouth once again.

A must visit !

I originally found out about Dr. De la Cruz from two men that I had met in Antigua Guatemala. Each had had extensive dental work performed by him, and they each recommended him to me as a really good dentist, that was also a fluent English speaker. “He's the man to see”, as they put it. I was impressed by the modernity of his office, his professional style and ease of communication.

The Best Price

I sure was surprised. When all work had been completed, I compared Dr. de la Cruz' cost for similar procedures “back home”. The difference was impressive - less than half the typical California prices. I could easily have paid for my trip to Guatemala with the difference, and still come home financially ahead. And, more importantly, I believe the service and skill I experienced with Dr. de la Cruz was considerably better.

According to the National Coalition on Health Care, more than 750,000 Americans traveled abroad to receive medical and dental work in 2016.

With soaring health care costs and long waits for dental medical procedures, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find professional quality and affordable treatment. Whether you want cosmetic dentistry or teeth whitening for instance, you might have to dig deep into your pocket or wait for months before receiving the dental care that you require and deserve.

Medical Tourism Gets a Facelift... and Perhaps a Pacemaker

Medical Tourism is not a new phenomenon, but it is taking on a completely different persona to what was earlier envisaged. Many healthcare systems – in the U.S., U.K. and Germany – are undergoing significant challenges: waiting lists, shifting priorities for healthcare, tightened eligibility criteria, etc. Today, with the globalization of information and the empowerment of the consumer, medical tourism involves individuals acting as a consumer, making their own decisions regarding their health needs, deciphering how they can best be treated, and then finding the most appropriate provider.
